We are thrilled to share a recent collaboration with the talented stylist, Jordan Renou, at our esteemed flagship store on Avenue George V in Paris. With the festive season in full swing, Jordan has deftly immersed himself in the art of style curation, carefully selecting cocktail outfits designed to enhance a variety of events and celebrations with grace and sophistication.
RING IN THE NEW YEAR:
New Year's Eve signifies glitter and sequins. One wants to shine, but also desires comfort. The CRYSTALL dress stands out as a favorite from the collection for Jordan as it encompasses all the key elements for ringing in the New Year. Embellished with jeweled collars, it exudes a wonderful charm. The open neckline revealing the shoulders adds a touch of sensuality to the ensemble. The exquisite color reflects light beautifully. Its loose-fitting design ensures comfort for dancing, allowing for movement and a sense of vibrancy. The pairing of the stunning SWANTON heels complements the dress perfectly, featuring silver tones and sequin embellishments. The overall look is undeniably stunning. A high heel always accentuates the foot elegantly, and the heel type can be chosen based on individual body shapes. Whether classic stiletto heels for a sublime ankle look or platform shoes, the choice is versatile. While small heels possess an inherent charm, they may be a bit trickier to style with evening wear, making them more suitable for everyday looks.
For a sophisticated Office Party ensemble, Jordan selected a classic "Boss Babe" look featuring a white shirt as the focal point. The ARABESQUE shirt stood out with its sheer detail and velvet pattern, elevating it to a more sophisticated and formal alternative to a traditional white shirt. Paired with the CADIA leather skirt, the outfit aimed to infuse a touch of modernity into its classic and elegant style. For the professional evening theme, the ensemble was envisioned as an after-work attire, with minor alterations to enhance its appeal. The addition of small pumps embellished with leather flowers offered a customizable touch that could be clipped on to different parts of the outfit, showcasing the versatility of the pieces. The ARABESQUE could be styled with a closed collar and a knotted scarf for a refined look or left open with a slightly relaxed feel. The chic lavalliere-style scarf added a touch of elegance to the ensemble. As a stylist, Jordan appreciated the transformative nature of pieces, allowing for multiple styling options with a single garment. The ARABESQUE shirt perfectly exemplified this versatility, offering numerous style possibilities for various occasions.
For the festive season of Christmas, a touch of glitter and sparkle in an outfit is essential. Jordan developed a fondness for the ALBAH top within the collection, capturing the essence of Christmas with feathers reminiscent of the holiday spirit and rhinestones glistening like snow. With its ornate design, the ALBAH top exudes a jewelry-like quality that embodies the essence of the cocktail collection. This same sparkle carries through to other pieces within the collection, including the dress intended for New Year's Eve celebrations.To balance the statement piece, a classic pairing with a touch of modernity was chosen. Opting for a timeless black and white combination, Jordan selected straight pants with pleats, known for their inherent chicness. To infuse a contemporary edge into this elegant ensemble, a platform pump was chosen over the traditional style, adding a touch of modern sophistication.
The white PARIS shirt has become a new favorite for Jordan, who also appreciates the silhouette in black. This classic shirt boasts exceptional details and exquisite sleeves, which are noted for their graceful and fluid movement when worn. Jordan envisions pairing the shirt with a voluminous long skirt for a gala, reflecting a preference for dramatic silhouettes. The JOYCE asymmetrical skirt is admired for its versatility, offering the option to be worn with or without a train, allowing for a seamless transition from a Red Carpet ensemble to a more comfortable look. The sheen fabric and tuxedo-inspired belt add a touch of elegance to the skirt. Once again, Jordan chooses platform shoes to infuse a modern and slightly edgy element into the sophisticated outfit, completing the ensemble with a stylish and refined flair.
What better way to celebrate love than through the language of flowers? Jordan chose the BERENGARIA top adorned with a large flower that elegantly drapes the front of the top, while the leopard print accents serve as a symbol of allure and seduction. In the setting of a romantic dinner, whether it's a first date or not, the desire to captivate and entice remains paramount. A standout element for Jordan is the exposed back, where the contrast of the bare back against the fully covered front creates a striking visual dynamic.The BERENGARIA top is paired with the VIC velvet flared pants, as velvet is esteemed for its inherent chicness and light-catching properties. The flared silhouette is chosen to elevate the overall silhouette. Completing the ensemble with platform shoes, Jordan is confident that this combination crafts an elegant and elongated silhouette, ideal for a memorable and enchanting evening.
